Concert information
Info
Hans Werner Henze was an avowed antifascist. His Symphony No. 9, a harrowing memorial to fascism and war – an “apotheosis of terror and pain”, which he described as the “summa summorum” of his creative works –, was created out of his preoccupation with the Nazi past of Germany. Originally composed in response to a commission by the Berliner Festwochen, this “poetic drama without scenic action” can now be experienced during the anniversary year of the Berliner Festspiele, additionally marking the centenary of the birth of the composer who died in 2012. Joana Mallwitz will be conducting the Konzerthausorchester Berlin alongside the Rundfunkchor Berlin.
